תִּירוֹשׁ
(tee-ROHSH)
noun, masculine
Tirosh refers to "new wine" or "fresh wine," frequently associated with blessing and agricultural abundance in ancient Israel.
Tirosh is the Hebrew word for "new wine" or "fresh wine," referring to the freshly pressed juice of the grape. It is often mentioned alongside grain and oil as a basic staple of the Israelite diet and a primary agricultural product. The presence of tirosh, along with grain and oil, frequently symbolizes God's blessing and prosperity for His people when they obey His covenant. Conversely, the withholding or destruction of these same commodities signifies divine judgment due to disobedience. Its semantic range emphasizes the fruit of the vine in its initial, unfermented or lightly fermented state, distinct from fully fermented wine (yayin). While some English translations render it simply as "wine" or "sweet wine," the nuance of its freshness and newness is often important. The term highlights the bountiful provision from God's hand, demonstrating His care for the physical sustenance of His people.
Common English renderings
- new wine
